They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-

of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There Is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-Sone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod-
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up sud
denly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high col

after standing. There is fire.

Are Monkeys Mimics?

The authority of Scripture Il Kings,
x, 22) warrants the belief that monkeys
formed an article OF commerce rs much
as twenty-eight centuries ago, SO that
no lack of time can have prevented us
from studying the habits of our four
handed relatives; yet it would hardly
be an overestimate to say that nine hum
dred and ninety-nine of a thousand men
persist in the belief that monkeys have
a passion for initiating the actions Of
their two-handed kInsmen; that, for IN
stance. an ape. seeing his master shave
himself, would take the first opportunity
to get hold of u razor and scrape or cut
his own throat. Now, how could that
idea ever survive this age of geological
gardens? Marcus Aurelius held that
the sum of all ethics was the rule to
s.love truth and justice, and live with
out anger, in the midst of lying and un-
lust men," Yet the occupation of
monkey-trainer would put that toler-
ance to a severe test. With an intell
gence surprising that of the most in
telligent dog, a monkey combines an
ultra-mulish degree of obstinacy. and,
rather than initiate the demonstrative
manipulations of the kindest instructor,
he will sham fear, sham lamcness, sham
heart-disease. and generally wind up
by falling down in a sham fit of epilep-
tic convulsions. Ihave owned monkeys
of ut least twenty different species, and
have never been able to discover the
slightest trace of that supposed pen
chant for mimicry. A boy may take off
his coat and turn thousand somersets,
Jacko will watch the phenomenon only
with view to getting his fingers into
the pockets of the unguarded coat. Lift
up your hand a hundred times, Jacko
will witness the proceeding with calm
Indifference, unless more emphatic
repetition of the man9uvre should
make him duck his head to dodge an
anticipated blow. He has no desire to
follow any human precedents whatever.
and the apparent exceptions from that
rule are. on his part, wholly uninten-
tional and merely natural result of
anatomical analogies. An angry ham,
adryas baboon, for instance, will strike
the ground with his fist, not because
any Christian visitors have ever set him
that bad example. but because his fore
fathers have thus for ages vented their
wrath on the rocks of the Nubian high
lands A capuchin monkey will pick
huckieberries with his fingers, not in
Difference to civilized customs. but be-
cause his fingers are deft and long. and
his jaws very short. Nay, that same
capuchin monkey. admitted to seat at
the breakfast-table of a punctilious fam
lily, would be apt to show his contempt
OF court by sticking his head in the pud-
ding-dish. The compulsive methods of
professional trainers may modify that
perversity. but during recess the re-
deemed four-hander is sure to drop his
mask, and, unlike trained dog, will
never volunteer the performance of a
popular trick.-Dr. FeLir l.. Ostcald, i'l

The Absent-NIinded Man.

A noted lawyer of this town became

gave one OF two puits, and then, with
the coal of fire on the cigars tip we'll
developed, put the lighted end into his
mouth and dreamily went to chewing
away Just as if it were an innocent
wooden toothpick. The unfeeling fire
burned and the lawyer has been two
days away from his office. A physician
of prominence, whose attention was
called to this case. says that very
large percentage of the troubles that
make calls on the doctor necessary in
New York are to be attributed directly
to Observation-Disclosures. AS illustrative
of this he cited case in his own prac-
tice where Il lady who is conspicuous in
society finished her toilet not long ago
for an evening at the theatre, and as a
finishing touch drank the eau de col
ogne that stood on her dressing-case.
She was seriously sick for over q fort
night.-Neao York Times,

Prettiest Clerk in Washington.

It is said that the prettiest girl in the
employ of the government is copyist
ut the Navy Department This is say
inc a good deal, as about 1000 women
hold positions in Washington, and prob
ABLY 1000 more in other parts OF the
country are receiving salaries from
Uncle Sam. Some of the ''countesses,
as the girls employed in the treasury
are called, are very pretty, but the belle
of the navy is claimed to be entitled to
the apple of Paris. She is a niece of
our minister TO England, Phelps, and
her family reside in this city. For about
four wears the young lady has been en-
ploved as a type writer in the office of
Commodore Walker. the chief of the
bureau of detail, receiving a salary OF
5000 year. She is a dark-eyed blonde
with beautiful figure, and the officers
of the navy are all her devoted slaves.
She was so much interrupted in her
work by them that Commander McCalla,
in whose room she is, was compelled to
prohibit the officers from interviewing
her in department hours, and got u

and they all want to superintend the
work. The young lady does not appear
to be aware of her attractions, but can
not but notice that the other type
writers are not in such demand as her
self. When she leaves the department
at night there are generally two or
more officers accidentally waiting in the
corridor to escort her safely down the
elevator and see her to the street car.

The Mode ut Dinner.

There is an apparent tendency IN
dinners this season to do away al
together with heavy viands when ladies
are among the company. Substantial
roasts and saddles of mutton have gwen
way to tillets about as big round as a
watch-case, with trifie of artichoke or
beanaise.
The purpose is to have everything so
frail that the knife may be dispensed
with, and women be enabled to provide
themselves pientifully with Il fork and
without the necessity, if impulse move,
of removing their gloves. Flowers are
more used than ever, and are likely to
be all winter. Three women, whose in
fiuence ordinarily is forceful in setting
the modes in society. undertook to ar
ray themselves against the use of flowers
rs dinner-table decorations. They gave
an elaborate luncheon. and forbade the
use of a single rose upon or about the
table. They experienced so much diff
Guilty. however, in procuring substitutes
of even half the decorative beauty that
flowers possess that they abandoned the
fight, and at dinner given by. one of
them the other night all precedent in
the lavish use of roses was surpassed.
The stand to make now is against the
vulgar overriding of very pretty idea.
China and fine glass more than hold
their own in popular favor, and one
sees porcelain in town that would be
priced i'm the home of Il Howard. Deco
rations are. and apparently. if one may
judge by what is already to be seen. will
continue to be pronounced in colors,
red and other bright. warm tints pre-
vailing. No hue predominates, how
ever, 10 the exclusion of others. What
were called yellow dinners at Bar Har-
Dor are already decidedly passe. They
never, indeed, were much in favor cx-
cept with social sensationalists, and
they could not last if for no other reason
than the one that only one complexion
in thousand could stand against
them. For an autumnal kink the many
hued leaves of fall are very pretty as
decorations and are good deal used.
They may be preserved after gathering
for Two weeks or more by keeping them
in cold water. Rich rcd Ivy has also
been used with great effect, and will
probably come into decided favor for
big occasions. But ivy grows SO slowly
that the generous use of it means
great expense. Philadelphia NeOs.

A gentleman residing near the Napa
and Sonoma county lines. and whose
name we withhold by request, tells the
following story of II remarkable shot:
He was out in the mountains IN quest of
the festive buck. Monday, and had ex-
perienced poor luck until about noon,
when he spied tall, magnificent deer
raising his proud head over rock pile
at a distance of about 200 yards. from
him. The branches of a young madrona
tree formed natural bronZe-red and
green frame above the animals head.
He hesitated for some time in doubt of
CHANGING shot at that distance, the
position of the target being SO unfavor-
able. He decided to risk it. however,
and blazed away. When the little
wreath of smoke mad cleared away he
found that the proudly crested head
had Disappeared. He made his way as
rapidly as possible TO the spot and
found his game awaiting him. After
performing the customary surgical
operation upon the deer's throat with
his huntIng-knife, he commenced to
| look for the death-wound. What APP
peared to be a bullet hole was found in
the centre of the decr's forehead.
In passing his hand carelessly over the
wound he detected a rough, sharp pro,
tuberance. Thinking it was Il piece Of
the shattered frontal bone he rpied tC
withdraw it. He was unable to move
it at the first attempt, and commenced
tugging in earnest. He finally succeed

touched the animal, but had struck on
of the limbs of the madrona tree abou
six inches above his head. chopping on

The splinter Withdrawn from the AMI

and the result proved beyond doub
